Plan: --/ 31-Aug-2026 \-- For some reason, the different browsers on my mobile phone cough up the "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" error, sometimes as soon as I load the main page, sometimes only when I get to the $EDITOR or login page, sometimes only after attempting to log in. Firefox on desktop, on the other hand, seems perfectly fine with plan.cat... This is the only site where something like this happened to me, to the point I'm considering self-hosting my own finger server... What a tour de force last night: on the bus I've managed to finally get my XMPP/ Snikket server up and running, and after I've got home I've managed to crank an application for OmniOpenCon 2026 Bucharest - really curious to see if they will accept my talk about decentralized social media, considering I'm a literal nobody - and write down on my static site a brief introduction to this topic and how it turned into a special interest for me, much like how I approached Linux (and *BSD): with much curiosity and even affection, as something that's more than a mere tool. I hope at least some people in my possibly slim audience will be able to relate with this enthusiasm and get beyond voicing out "but there's no network effect to these niche networks!!"... --/ 24-Aug-2026 \-- My BSSG-generated static site is up in a working state, need to customize it a bit more, but looks good either way. I previously used WriteFreely and it turned out to be a drag updating it to the newest and most secure version... ATproto: finally wrapped my head around did:web thanks to @mai.lapyst.dec, but I still need to somehow generate a bunch of tokens for the account creation prpcess without using those Ruby or Go scripts, as recent versions of both Ruby and Go throw up compiling errors on more than one of my systems when confronted with the dependencies of those slightly older scripts for Bluesky... ActivityPub folks, you were right to diss ATproto. In before "skill issue"... --/ 23-Aug-2026 \-- After Gopher and Gemini, time for introducing myself to another smolweb (or however less cringe you want to call it) protocol: finger... I'm from Romania and I use OpenBSD and Alpine Linux... Not much to say, except I'm still only less than two years in this FOSS "business". Not exactly subscribing to offpunk or frugal computing, but I'm close enough. --- Wishful to-do: - finish my ATproto stack - renewed attempt at building smolBSD on Alpine - return on Usenet Pending: - dropQbsd - littleFedi
